Yea, I'd do it if I could get the start up money. What I'd do to make it different (from Texas joints anyway) is keep it small. About the size of Blacks BBQ in Lockhart. Have it set up more like a steak house. Real tableware ya know. The one thing I hate about most Q joints around here is eating on butcher paper with plastic forks. That sucks! No metal signs on the walls and silly antique motif. Just a nice bright, clean, full service place. I big pot of free beans and a salad bar with every meal off on the side. Cornbread and dinner rolls with real butter and honey butter. Really good side dishes and desserts. Fresh steamed Veggies. comfortable wide chairs, beer on tap in big schooners, mint ice tea. Grilled pork chops, and chicken. smoked ribs, sausage, pork loin, turkey, and brisket or clod. ABTs and a relish bar. Four fast lunch specials.
Any old timers from San Antonio that remember the "The Bean Pot BBQ", That's what I'm talking about.
